MSA Safety Inc (MSA) Form 10-Q — Nov 3, 2026
MSA Safety's Q3 2026 net sales rose 14.5% to $536.4 million, with organic growth of 5.5% and double-digit organic orders growth, while nine-month sales reached $1.50 billion (+10.2%). However, Q3 net income fell about 16% to $58.4 million ($1.51 diluted EPS vs $1.77 a year ago), driven by higher SG&A, transaction and digital transformation costs of $15.0 million, acquisition-related amortization, and interest expense of $13.8 million tied to debt-funded Autronica acquisition. The company closed the ~$563 million Autronica Fire and Security acquisition on July 9, 2026, which added $39.5 million of Q3 sales but a $6.0 million net loss, and lifted total debt to $1.12 billion.
